The clear purpose of Cornerstone Christian School is to help our students understand that all truth is God’s Truth, and we are called to live in obedience to His Word in all aspects of life. Cornerstone teaches a love for God’s Word with a comprehensive Biblical worldview and believes that academic excellence must be central and for God’s Glory. With the premise that all truth is God’s Truth, the CCS academic standard will be one of excellence and commitment to the Truth of God’s Word.
CCS is a discipleship Christian school. We desire to bring the Lord glory through each part of our school. In the past years, we have seen enrollment almost triple along with the expansion to a full pre-K through twelfth grade program. The Lord has been demonstrating His calling to the school board, our teaching staff, and our students with their families. This mission and vision includes the call to a walk of obedience and faith. This obedience and faith will result in a Godly influence on our community, our nation, and our world- all for His Glory!
As a discipleship Christian school, Cornerstone employs teachers who hold a current teaching certificate with the Nebraska Department of Education and demonstrate a deep love of the Lord and a personal commitment to our Lord and His Word. Teachers and coaches are powerful influences on the life of a student. A student spends about 1,250 hours each year at school with athletics adding another 200-300 hours. Those hours are crucial to student development and achievement. Just as our academic program emphasizes excellence, the athletic program does as well; coaches strive to guide and mentor their athletes to play for God’s glory. In fact, research indicates that the most significant influence on learning is not the environment or the curriculum, but the teacher (Retrieved from Danielsongroup.org, 2013). Scripture gives the ultimate objective of a teacher, “But everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.” (Luke 6:40) Cornerstone Christian School is comprised of Godly men and women who love the Lord and their students and seek to follow Him, praying for their students daily. This is a blessing to each student as the teachers instruct with excellence!
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21
